MSDE and Perfmon Counters

  • I have inherited an MSDE server that is experiencing problems. I cannot troubleshoot these problems very well because there are no SQL counters. I checked and there is no sqlctr.ini or sqlctr70.dll file on the disk. Is there a way to install these counters?

    Here is what @@version reports:

    Microsoft SQL Server 7.00 - 7.00.1063 (Intel X86)

    MSDE on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 4)

    This is running on a Windows 2000 box.

    Thanks,

  • Thanks for the quick reply. I've scoured the web for days trying to find an answer to this and I have run across this thread and others with the same or similar advice. Problem is there is no sqlctr.ini file on the computer. Do I just copy this from another sql 7 box and then try to load them? Is there not a dll involved as well? The last thing I want to do is hose up this computer.

    Thanks,

    George

  • I don't see any problem copying .ini file from other server.

    Try first without copying the dll, let it use local available dll.

    I don't think it is going hose the system becuase you are copying just .ini file which provides driver and counter information...

    Make sure you sqlctr.h file too..
